Sounds like you are getting a line of bull, most likely because either they
don=B9t know what they are talking about, they don=B9t think you do, so they=B9ll
tell you anything or a combination of both. Sounds like they need an
education. I don=B9t foresee an easy solution, but if you can get them to tal=
k
to someone knowledgeable about the subject, may be they can be turned
around, but I wouldn=B9t be hopeful. Most PC centric IT environments don=B9t
want anything to do with Macs out of ignorance and that they don=B9t want to
support anything they don=B9t know.

Subject: [DM-MUG] Why can't Mac OS X be on our server?
I know I ask a lot of questions, so here is another one! We finally have
gone from zero Macs to 14 at my school. We knew they couldn't go on the
network, and we agreed to it. But what is the problem? I've been given many
answers (all different). I've been told that Macs "carry" viruses, even
though they don't get them. The latest reason has to do with the security o=
f
the system. We know that our system protects PCs, but if Macs go on the
server, there is no way to know what they will do? Is there an easy solutio=
n
for this?
Thanks,
Holly Welch
